In Mark 4:1-20, Jesus tells us a parable about four soils and explains why he speaks in parables. Our response must be to receive and listen.

Why do bad things happen to good people? And why do good things happen to bad people? This is a question that plagues us. We may not have the most satisfying answers, but Ecclesiastes gives us the solution to make our way through this confusion: fear God first.

Do you feel powerless? Do you feel like your back is up against a wall? Do you feel confused? Easter reveals there is power in the cross of Christ.

The world's wisdom is enticing and yet leads to exhaustion. We need a new wisdom and perspective on life. This wisdom comes only through Jesus Christ.

This is a short devotional in Philemon verses 1-7.

We all want satisfaction in life. We want to be filled. Yet we run to the dreams and visions of this world, and they leave us exhausted and empty. Instead, we must run to God to find joy in life!

We often approach God in worship without thinking about our actions and words. But God is holy and as such we must approach him with reverent fear.

In Mark 3, we read how Jesus invaded this broken world with the Spirit's power to rescue his new family! 

We all are searching for significance. The problem is the place we search. We must find our significance in our savior alone!

We long for control, believing that we can bring stability to our uncertain lives.  The author of Ecclesiastes invites us to release control and instead trust in the providence of God over our time and justice.
